Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and the U.S. Coast Guard. ​These are the people that run toward danger as most are running away. These are the same people that are criticized by paid agitators and fake news outlets for making split second decisions in defense of others.

This web-site will publish stories, blogs and news articles without regard for political correctness. The Blog is posted at least weekly. Articles may be posted daily under their subject matter on the top header. (Copyrighted articles are reproduced in accordance with the copyright laws of the U.S. Code, Title 17, Section 107.

Check out the new YouTube section on the Homepage. I try to post positive and informative first responder videos. The views of guest contributors or video segments are not necessarily the views of Running Code 3.

"I believe in God, family and treating others the way I would like to be treated. I own firearms and think a good guy with a gun trumps a criminal with a gun. I think teaching children right from wrong is good and giving a trophy for simply participating in an endeavor whether it be sports or scholastic is confusing our children. Competition and learning how to deal with failure builds character. A generation of parents listened to Dr. Spock for advice on raising their children. While his own grandson wound up committing suicide.

I believe in the Pledge of Allegiance and standing for our flag. I don't believe in race baiting or racism. I know the Constitution of the United States of America was written for all citizens and should not the altered by our courts. I feel that our educators, military, police, firefighters, ems and nurses should be held in greater esteem.

I believe that the news media should be held criminally accountable for spreading propaganda or fake news stories in an effort to sway public opinion. This should also apply to social media that uses algorithms to contaminate the minds of subscribers. This should be called what it is, Brainwashing.

In closing, I believe that God is being systematically removed from our country. Merry Christmas is now Seasons Greetings and Political Correctness has run amuck. Is there a correlation between a society that has moved away from God and the increase in school shootings?

Maybe as a nation we should re-calibrate our moral compasses and use common sense for direction."
